The phenomenon of negative added mass is studied by considering the heave oscillations of a submerged vertical
cylinder. Free-surface effects are shown to be important for the occurrence of negative added mass. Rapid
changes in the added mass and damping, as functions of frequency of oscillation, often associated with this
phenomenon are explained in terms of near-resonant standing waves above the body.

In multi-body problems the added mass takes the form of a matrix, reflecting the fact
that the oscillations of one body can create a force on another. The variation with
frequency of the off-diagonal terms is invariably oscillatory taking both positive and
negative values. The diagonal terms also tend to be more oscillatory in their frequency
variation than for a single body. See, for example, Matsui and Tamaki [6]. It is clear that a
simple physical interpretation in terms of accelerated fluid mass is not appropriate in
complicated multi-body problems where interaction effects are important.
For a single oscillating body without an interior free surface, it appears that negative
added mass occurs only when the body is submerged, and then only over a restricted
range of frequencies. Thus Newman, Sortland and Vinje [9] have considered the vertical
oscillations of a submerged two-dimensional rectangular cylinder and verified the negative
added mass measured by Chung [1]. They presented results obtained using a numerical
wave-source distribution method and also using an approximate technique involving the
matching of a solution for the flow in the shallow region above the cylinder to a
deep-water solution valid away from the cylinder.
The present study seeks to extend the understanding of the phenomenon of negative
added mass by considering the heave oscillations of a submerged vertical circular cylinder.
The solution is by the method of matched eigenfunction expansions used in related
problems by Yeung [15] and Thomas [13]. Negative added-mass coefficients are found to
occur when the cylinder oscillates close to the free surface and, as in other examples, these
are accompanied by rapid variations with frequency in both the added-mass and damping
coefficients. An approximate solution valid for long waves in shallow water is used to help
interpret the results. In Appendix I a relation due to Falnes (unpublished note) between
the kinetic and potential energy of the fluid, and the added mass, is presented, whilst in
Appendix II the Kramers-Kronig relations are used to confirm some of the trends
apparent in the added-mass and damping curves as functions of frequency.

Continuity of fluid pressure and vertical velocity across r = a require that the expressions

is multiplied throughout by Z~l)(z) and integrated over (0, hi), the following result is

In deriving Eqns. (3.3) and (3.4), it has been assumed that ~(i)(r, hi) may be replaced by
~ ( r ) (i = 1, 2) so that the flow varies little throughout the depth. This is the shallow-water
approximation for long waves.

To solve the system of Eqns. (2.20) it must be truncated at a finite value N~ and similarly
the summation in Eqn. (2.21) requires truncation at some value N 2. The values N 1 and N 2
correspond to the number of real eigenvalues used in the interior and exterior regions.
Detailed examination of a number of trial calculations indicated that a large value of N 2,
but only a moderate value of N 1, is required. In all of these trial calculations the added
mass and damping were determined to within 2% by taking N 1 = 10 and N 2 = 50.
Convergence was most rapid when either, or both, of hl/h 2 and a/h 2 were large (i.e.
h~/h2 >10.5, a/h 2 >11.0). All the calculations now presented were made with N 1 = 20,
N 2 = 60.
Figures 4 and 5 give respectively the added-mass and damping coefficients for a
cylinder of fixed radius a/h 2 = 0.1 at various depths of submergence. These curves
resemble those presented by Figs. 1 and 2. For large h~/h z there is little variation in/~ and
X with frequency, but with decreasing hl/h 2 the curves become more peaked and when the
mount is sufficiently close to the surface the added mass becomes negative over a range of
frequencies. As an extreme example of this Fig. 6 displays added-mass and damping
curves for a/h z = 5.0, hl/h 2 = 0.05.

to the interior potential (Eqn. (2.7)) will be discussed. This represents the rigid-body
motion of the fluid above the mount. For this motion alone the added-mass coefficient is
given by
hi g (4.1)
P a 602a '
17
(cf. Eqns. (2.24) and (3.12)) while the damping coefficient is identically zero (there is no
flow into the outer region to generate waves). It should be noted that for the bottom-
mounted cylinder considered here there is a contribution to the force from the fluctuating
hydrostatic pressure (relative to the mean surface level). The corresponding force coeffi-
cient is equal and opposite to the term - g / ~ 2 a in ft. However, for a body totally
surrounded by fluid, as would usually be the case, there would be a cancelling hydrostatic
force on the base and so, for the purposes of this discussion, hydrostatic effects will not be
considered.
From the numerical results, it has been observed that for high frequencies (kla >> 1)
and small depths of submergence equation (4.1) gives the dominant contribution to the
added mass. Indeed as o~2a/g ~ oo, t.t tends to the constant value hl/a. At low frequencies
the contribution to the added mass is dominated by the term -g/o~2a, but, in general, the
added mass does not become negative because of the wave motion contribution. However,
for sufficiently small depths of submergence h 1, the added mass, as given by Eqn. (4.1),
will become negative at frequencies where wave effects are negligible. For this reason a
second added-mass curve, with the rigid-body-motion contribution taken out and denoted
by/~, is drawn in Fig. 6. In this way the effects of the resonant wave motion may be
isolated.
Falnes (unpublished note) has related the added mass to the energy of the fluid motion.
For a body oscillating in a single mode of motion with velocity amplitude U, the added
mass A (see Eqn. 2.22)) satisfies
T - V = 1A U 2, (4.2)
where T and V are respectively the kinetic and potential energies of the total fluid motion
averaged over a period. A proof of this result is given in Appendix I. At large depths of
submergence (so that the effect of the free surface, and hence V, is negligible) the added
mass A may be interpreted as the mass of fluid accelerated by the motion of the body
(hence the origin of the term). For a body close to the free surface no simple interpretation
of added mass has previously been available. As an illustration of Eqn. (4.2) consider the
rigid-body motion of the fluid mass above the heaving cylindrical mount. The mean
kinetic energy of the fluid motion is
T = p~a2hlU 2 (4.3)
V = p~a 2 g---~-U 2.
~2
(4.4)
solution, Eqn. (3.5), shows that at these frequencies c}~l)//Or is zero and hence there is no
flow across the rim of the cylinder into the exterior region. The wave motion (i.e.
excluding the rigid body motion) consists entirely of a standing wave confined to the top
of the mount; it is a simple calculation to show that the mean kinetic and potential
energies of such a motion are equal, hence the zero in ~. There is no wave generation in
the exterior region and therefore the damping coefficient X is also zero at these frequen-
cies.
The very sharp peaks in the curves displayed in Fig. 6 suggest that there is a resonant
motion at certain frequencies. The shallow-water solution for the added mass and
damping (Eqn. (3.12)) shows that resonance will occur at the zeros of F(kla ). The zeros of
this function have been examined in detail by Longuet-Higgins [5] and Summerfield [12].
There are no real zeros for non-zero E, but for small E the complex zeros each have a small
imaginary part, and rapid variations in the solution, as a function of k:a, can be expected
near the frequencies given by the real part. These frequencies occur near the zeros of
Jo(kla). Away from the resonant frequencies, but still for small e, the expression (3.12)
reduces to
/*+iX g 1 (4.5)
to2a klaJo ( kla )
From Eqn. (4.5) it is apparent that there are zeros in the modified added mass/Y at the
zeros of Jl(kla) with negative values occurring at frequencies in a range below each of the
zeros. It can also be seen that-the damping is close to zero away from the resonant
frequencies. The full shallow-water expression, Eqn. (3.12), gives results very close to the
curves in Fig. 6.
At the resonant frequencies of the shallow-water solution (kla =Jo,,,), the nodes of the
dominant standing-wave component of the complete interior potential (Eqn. (2.7)) are
above the rim of the cylinder and there is a non-zero flow velocity into the outer region.
The resonant behaviour therefore gives very strong wave generation in the outer region,
hence the sharp peaks in the damping curve near the resonant frequencies. From Fig. 6 it
can be seen that there is a zero of ~ associated with each maximum in X. The
shallow-water solution (3.12) shows that they do not coincide, except as e ~ 0 when they
both occur at the resonant wavenumbers Jo,,,. Each maximum in X is accompanied by a
rapid decrease in pt. In Appendix II one of the Kramers-Kronig relations is used to
demonstrate that it is generally true that any sharp isolated maximum in X must be
accompanied by such a rapid drop in ~ as the frequency increases.
5. Conclusion
The occurrence of negative added mass has been investigated for the heave oscillations of
a submerged cylindrical mount. In common with previous work for other submerged
bodies, the added mass may become negative when the depth of submergence is small and
free-surface effects are important. This is reflected in a new relation (due to Falnes)
between the added mass and the mean kinetic and potential energies of the fluid motion
(Eqn. (4.2)). At large depths of submergence the mean potential energy of the motion is
negligible and the added mass is necessarily positive. At small depths of submergence the
oscillations of the free surface are such that the mean potential energy can exceed the
19
mean kinetic energy resulting in negative added mass. For these small submergences
near-resonant standing waves may occur above the mount accounting for the rapid
changes observed in both added mass and damping.
